Los Molinos Elementary School

The teachers are great, however, the school is filthy and needs a deep cleaning everyday. It is small school physically yet alot of students are coming and its very overcrowded now. The parking is horrible. Drivers are changing lanes like crazy and its not safe to even walk.

Mrs. Soo Hoo is an amazing teacher. She challenges the students to work to the best of their individual abilities. She's firm, yet fair. She's an incredible asset to the school.

My son graduated from Los Molinos TK program in May 2017. Mrs. Adam was the TK teacher, and she was an awesome teacher that exceeds our expectation. We were sad about sending our boy to TK while his preschool friends are all in the K already. But his TK year turned out to be a blessing for him. During his year in Mrs. Adam's class, he has learned so much "out side of the curriculum", they explored the nature, learned 52 states in songs, they also perform an opera ! To concluded this TK year, the class is not all about academics, but it is a mind opening experience, my son can actually talk broader subjects than his sister (1st grade at another school). Mrs. Adam did a excellent job in preparing kids forward to K, or even advanced, 1st grade. I've heard some of her TK kids got promoted to K-1st combo class, which is great ! For new parents in Mrs. Adam's TK class, my suggestion is to give teacher sometime, you'd be very surprised to see your kids are actually learning a lot while they "seemed to be playing".

Disappointed. In the early years (kinder - 2nd) my child had a fairly good experience. This school does not deal well with gifted/high-achieving students. They are ignored. They do well - Test wise - but not socially or in the classroom. No GATE program. The GATE teachers have not been trained in dealing with gifted children. Test scores are not everything (and my child contributed to the HIGH test scores). Also the school doesn't know how to deal with children with behavioral problems.
